Origin and history

The house at 12 rue Pernelle in La Rochelle is a building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 17th century. This monument, typical of the urban architecture of the period, is distinguished by its facade and arcade, elements protected by a decree of inscription in 1928. Its location in the city centre reflects the urbanisation of La Rochelle, then in full commercial and maritime expansion.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this house illustrates the civil heritage of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, formerly Poitou-Charentes. At that time, La Rochelle was a major port, marked by intense exchanges with the Atlantic and colonies. Bourgeois houses, like this one, often served as residences for local merchants or notables, playing a central role in the economic and social life of the city.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact location is at the corner of Pernelle Street, with a geographical accuracy considered fair (note 5/10). No additional information is provided on its current use, such as a possible visit, rental or accommodation.
